Regulated & Governance-Heavy Content Operations
When every word matters — and every change must be traceable.
Whether you're operating in financial services, healthcare, aviation, public sector, or any governance-heavy environment Webiny gives you a programmable, self-hosted content platform built for exactly that reality.
Most CMS platforms optimize for speed.
Regulated organizations need speed and control.
- Manual approval chains across legal, compliance, and regional teams
- No clear audit trail of who changed what — and when
- Inconsistent publishing controls across markets
- Shared SaaS infrastructure with unclear data governance
- Risk of accidental publishing or unauthorized edits
- Fragmented tools for assets, content, and workflows
Webiny - Structured, Self-Hosted Governance
Governance, fully programmable
Turn regulatory requirements into enforceable system logic — with lifecycle hooks, APIs, and infrastructure you control.
Governance as Code
Because Webiny is built on a TypeScript framework you can intercept lifecycle events before publishing, block publishing based on compliance rules, trigger external risk or approval APIs, ...
You’re not limited to UI rules — governance can be coded directly into the platform.
Infrastructure You Control
Unlike SaaS CMS platforms, in Webiny content and assets live in your cloud, encryption is enabled by default and backups and point-in-time recovery are built in.
In Webiny infrastructure is not separate from the product — it is part of it. For regulated industries, that distinction matters.
SSO & Enterprise Identity Integration
Ensure centralized identity governance and role mapping by integrating with existing identity providers. Even custom custom SAML/OIDC providers are supported.
Background Jobs & Compliance Automation
Move regulatory processes out of manual workflows. Automatic archiving, retention enforcement, audit exports — All running inside your cloud.
Versioned Schemas & Controlled Migrations
Define content models as code and promote them through environments via CI/CD. Change management built into your CMS layer.
Open-Source Transparency
In regulated environments, black boxes create risk.
Instead Webiny gives you full source code access and removes any proprietary backend lock-in. It's architectural clarity that reduces strategic risk.
Data Ownership & Governance
Webiny runs entirely in your cloud — so your content, assets, and metadata never leave your control, are never reused, and are never trained on by third parties.

Deploy, update, and operate Webiny through CI/CD pipelines and Infrastructure as Code — with predictable releases, safe rollbacks, and zero click-ops.

Deliver consistently fast experiences and stay online during peak traffic — even when content changes constantly behind the scenes.
Learn moreLifecycle Events & Automation
React to every content change with code — trigger automations, enforce business rules, and connect Webiny to your systems in real time.
Learn moreBuilt for oversight, not just publishing
Design multi-step approvals, enforce review checks, and maintain full visibility into every content decision.
Structured Approval Chains
Design review flows that reflect how your organization actually works: Marketing → Legal → Compliance → Regional Lead → Publish
Nothing goes live without passing every check.
Full Audit & Traceability
Every action in the system is logged, who, what, when changed something.
For regulated audits, this is critical.
Granular Permissions & Isolation
From role-based access control, to folder-level permissions, and tenant-level isolation for brands or regions - you can separate departments, subsidiaries, or markets while maintaining central oversight.
Audit Logs
Track every change, action, and decision across content, users, and workflows — with full visibility, accountability, and traceability built in.
Learn moreVersioning & Rollback
Every change is tracked, every version is preserved, and rolling back is instant — so teams can move fast without risking what’s live.
Learn moreAI capabilities — on your terms
Use AI inside Webiny without vendor lock-in. Choose your models, control your data, and extend AI workflows safely — all inside your own cloud.
Learn moreGovernance by Design
In regulated environments, content operations are governance operations.
You don’t just need a CMS.
You need enforcement, traceability, and control — by design.
With Webiny, compliance isn’t layered on top.
It’s built into the architecture.
